Oh you just reminded of the last time I got freaked out by a movie......as an adult!!!!

About three years ago I was alone in my house.....it has a basement which I HATE to go down to, I live in a Civil War battle area and I'm SURE I've got ghosts down there, especially since my puppykates Cassie would bark and whine and refuse to go down there. Anyway, it was, of course, a dark and stormy night (what else!) and I'd been wanting to watch 30 Days of Night.
O M G
That movie FREAKED ME OUT. I called all my dogs and made them get on the couch with me and REFUSED to get up until my loser of an ex came back. He did, and I told him to CHECK THE BASEMENT AND THE ATTIC NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was DAYS before I could handle every little creak and squeak in the house....I'm not kidding. That movie TERRIFIED ME. I love vampires....everything from Nosferatu to Bill and Eric....but these vampires were the scariest things I'd ever seen.

And I agree with you on Castaway.

Nosferatu is my favourite vampire movie ever, still holds up. Ever see Shadow of te Vampire? Fictionalised account of making of that movie, Willem Dafoe was amazing as Max Schreck!

On the first day, he sadly packed his belongings into boxes, crates and suitcases.

On the second day, he had the movers come and collect his things.

On the third day, he sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining-room table, by candle-light; he put on some soft background music, and feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar, and a bottle of spring-water.

When he'd finished, he went into each and every room and deposited a few half-eaten shrimps dipped in caviar into the hollow center of the curtain rods.

He then cleaned up the kitchen and left.

On the fourth day, the wife came back with her new boyfriend, and at first all was bliss.

Then, slowly, the house began to smell.

They tried everything; cleaning, mopping, and airing-out the place.

Vents were checked for dead rodents, and carpets were steam cleaned.

Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters, during which time the two had to move out for a few days, and in the end they even paid to replace the expensive wool carpeting. Nothing worked!

People stopped coming over to visit.

Repairmen refused to work in the house. The maid quit.

Finally, they couldn't take the stench any longer, and decided they had to move, but a month later - even though they'd cut their price in half - they couldn't find a buyer for such a stinky house.

Word got out, and eventually even the local realtors refused to return their calls.

Finally, unable to wait any longer for a purchaser, they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a new place.

Then the ex called the woman and asked how things were going. She told him the saga of the rotting house. He listened politely and said that he missed his old home terribly and would be willing to reduce his divorce settlement in exchange for having the house.

Knowing he could have no idea how bad the smell really was, she agreed on a price that was only 1/10 nth of what the house had been worth ... but only if he would sign the papers that very day.

He agreed, and within two hours her lawyers delivered the completed paperwork.

A week later the woman and her boyfriend stood smiling as they watched the moving company pack everything to take to their new home .. . . . .

. . . . . and to spite the ex-husband, they even took the curtain rods!

I honour of Halloween, and since we've been talking movies, let's do best horror movie you've seen that others likely haven't.

Mine? Session 9.

Heard about it in Entertainment Weekly and their list of the top 5 scariest movies you've never heard of. It's about an asbestos cleaning crew doing a job in the Danvers State Mental institution in Massachusetts. The guys who wrote it did so with the site in mind. Nothing was set dressed for the filming. It stars the amazing Peter Mullen, David Caruso (normally can't even watch him but he's amazing here), Steven Avedon (also one of the writers) and a pre Sweet Home Alabama Josh Lucas. It was produced by USA Films and executives product by Carson Daly (one of the few d0uche free moves he's done).

I can't watch it in the house alone. It's not gory but it's sooooo atmospheric. The star of the movie is the hospital. Heck even my sister can't rewatch it and she's a horror movie fiend. Everyone I've recommended it to has bought it. The dvd has a cool documentary on the hospital as well as cast stories (David Caruso hates the building and won't go back in, Peter Mullen said the building started to possess him at times during filming).

Is a really interesting and smart movie about cannibalism during the civil war. Awesome cast (Guy Pearce/Robert Carlyle), odd and atmospheric soundtrack from Damon Albarn (Blur). Just a really well made and little known movie.

Edit: My least favourite horror movie is Plan 9 from outerspace...why I've seen it 3 or 4 times I'll never know.
